Rate-Time-Distance Problem 4
Solves this word problem using uniform motion rt = d formula.
Example:
Andy and Beth are at opposite ends of a 18-mile country road with plans to leave at the same time running toward each other to meet. Andy runs 7 mph while Beth runs 5 mph. How long after they begin will they meet? Rate-Time-Distance Problem 5
Example:
A car and a bus set out at 2 pm from the same spot, headed in the same direction. The average speed of the car is twice the average speed of the bus. After 2 hours, the car is 68 miles ahead of the bus. Find the rate of the bus and the car. Rate-Time-Distance Problem 6
Example:
A plane flew from one city to another city averaging 150 mph. Later, it flew back to the first city averaging 100 mph. The total flying time was 5 hours. How far apart are the cities? How to solve Algebra Word Problem in Distance, Rate, and Time using Quadratics?
This video shows an example about finding the speed of the current of stream.
Example:
